Christine and Bo didn't talk to each other for the rest of that night. He was afraid he'd say something he would regret and she was afraid she would do the same. She had gone upstairs to see if the twins were asleep. When she got there she saw that Bo just finished reading them a story.
"Daddy?" Kristen asked.
"Yes sweetie?"
"Do you still love mommy?"
"Yes of course I do, why do you ask?"
"Well we heard you earlier and we got scared."
"Mommy and daddy had an argument that's all. It's nothing bad. Don't you guys worry. I do love your mommy very much."
"I love you daddy," Kristen said.
"Love you too sweetie, now go to sleep ok."
She nodded and was asleep not long after Brian fell asleep. Christine had heard it all and stepped away from the door before Bo came out. He saw her standing there, "I guess you heard then."
She nodded. "I meant what I said," Bo said.
"Then why did you do it Bo? Why did you hurt all of us? I'm more mad at you for hurting the kids."
"I wasn't thinking when I did it."
"But the thing is you keep doing it. Bo what happened to the man I married?"
"This is how I always was and you knew that."
"When we got together in the first place you love Robert as your own son and you made sure he never got hurt. And now it ends up with you being the one who hurt him. Bo you were a father to him, do you know how he feels right now?"
"I'm sorry what do you want me to say?"
"I don't know what's gotten into you, but I don't like the new you."
"I thought you wanted me to have a better attitude?"
"Yes but I didn't mean for you to go sleeping around! It's nice to know that me and the twins mean so much to you."
"You guys do." Bo took her into his arms and held her. "You mean the world to me."
He pulled her into a kiss. "Don't fall for it," she told herself. And she pulled away from him. He started to kiss her again and she had to admit, it had been awhile since he kissed her like that. She knew she shouldn't have given in but she couldn't help it. She just loved Bo so much.
